Let me start by saying the journey is not for the faint hearted. We flew from Salvador and got the ferry, taxi, speedboat etc and it was more or less a days travel. We arrived at the ferry port at the start of a national holiday and the experience was eye opening, people everywhere pushing and shoving with us sticking... more

I agree with a previous review: telling the world about Boipeba might be dangerous. Lush scenery, pristine beaches where you can have a long stretch of sand only for yourself, warm and calm waters. Thankfully the local community seems keen to keep the island away from mass tourism. It is a fair trek to get there and it helps giving... more

In writing this review I might be shooting myself in the foot by encouraging more tourists to disrupt this beautiful and tranquil island. However, but by keeping this Pousada a secret i could be considered extremely selfish. So here you go.. This beautiful pousada is set in lush tropical gardens and is a minute walk from the pristine beach. Run... more

An absolutely beautiful place to stay. Very lush and green with pretty tile work throughout the grounds. The rooms are a nice size and many come with hammocks. The beds are firm ,but would not describe them as hard and come with mosquito nets. There's also a little library where you can also while the day away reading. The beach... more

We spend four nights here during our honeymoon - our last stop in Brazil - and were very impressed. We were greeted warmly on arrival by the owner, Charles, who was incredibly helpful, showing us maps of where to walk to on the island and advising us on where we could pay by credit card after we realised that there... more

This is the perfect isolated garden of Eden. Our beautiful 2-story cabana was surrounded with tropical flowers and each morning, a few were be floating our our footbath, thanks to a hotel staff's mighty attention to detail. The food was wonderful and the warm welcome and outstanding service were not to be matched. This was our last Brazilian stop on... more

What an unbelievable Island, and what a fantastic place to have stayed. From the moment I walked along the shore line to get to the Pousada at the end of the beach I felt elated. On walking into the lush green area thatis the Pousada, with beautifully decorated huts, one containing the restuarant, one the library, one the reception I... more

Pousada Santa Clara is the perfect tropical get away. It achieves the elusive balance of primitive/simplicity with comfort/luxury. Primitive refers to the pristine exotic beauty of Santa Clara, its peacefulness, simplicity of the design and lack of silly distractions -tv's in the rooms for example. Luxury is the excellent restaurant serving fresh, delicious and beautiful food for breakfast and dinner... more

An absolutely fabulous place on such a beautiful island. Santa Clara defiantly made our stay and Boipeba. We had really high hopes for the Pousada after reading all the great reviews and we were not disappointed. We were met by Charles (the owner) when we got to the Pousada, and after speaking to him for 5 minutes we were already... more
